Inherited a jewelry business? No, at first i was making windchimes when still in highschool and made $150k in one year by my 20th birthday , while at the same time building the most sophisticated large sound , bass reflex concert speakers in the world and working the largest bands & venues at that time as a private sound engineer. Message 28631231 We had our semi tractor/trailor licenses when we were only 22yrs old, we were in demand by the most popular bands in the world driving 44ft long Semi across the land. And were the first sound company to ever offer complete bandwidth sound equalization on large outdoor venue basis, we were trained by Bell & Howell Lab geniuses using Hewlet & Packard technology when it was unheard of & noted as the best sound company in the USA. Jewelry & gemology comes in much later and when i took to that, worked my way up & became very connected globally with rich & powerful friends in the business from Korea, China, Brazil, Afghanistan, Africa , Europe, Russia, on and on traveling the Gem Circuit for 10yrs. Jewelry store , are you kidding? Thats strictly for fools like you to go pay retail, if i want to order emeralds,sapphire, diamonds, opals, rubies, or pearls i know the Japonese, Afghans, Australian , African or Chinese fellows that own islands in the pacific that do nothing but pearls etc, of the best quality to the lowest. Or any of the other gems & minerals and have a 1000 of contacts & reputation in absolute good standing. Platinum or Gold chain i order in 100 feet if i so choose, you are absolutely ignorant of how the inside of this world operates, like everything else you fantasize about.
